Elizabeth Davis, BACP

Elizabeth Davis works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or the aftermath of trauma. She also supports parents facing the pressures of caring for young children and people coping with life changes. Elizabeth makes space for straightforward conversations and practical steps that fit each person's life.

She trained as an integrative counsellor and is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes many years working with children and families in community and voluntary roles, and extensive counselling experience within charities. This experience informs a calm, practical style.

Elizabeth has a special interest in antenatal and postnatal issues, birth trauma, bonding and infant mental health. She works with adults, children and teenagers and can help with parenting concerns and the emotional challenges that come with early parenthood.

In sessions she aims to tailor the pace and focus to each person. Conversations are held with respect and without judgement. She uses a mix of approaches to help people understand patterns, build coping strategies and try small changes that make a difference.

People who meet her will find a counsellor who values empathy and clear thinking. She encourages realistic steps and practical tools alongside space to talk about feelings and family history.

Elizabeth understands that asking for help is hard. She offers steady support while people work towards feeling more able and connected.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Elizabeth combines attachment-based work with client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. Attachment-based work looks at early relationships and patterns, helping people understand how those patterns affect current parenting and close relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and needs and then agree on a plan together. That collaborative process means the approach can change over time if something else fits better.

Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family life and other commitments.
